In addition to being a VERY TRUSTED house/pet sitter, he is the best "updater" I've ever had. He would take the dogs on outings and report some hilarious antics -- then he'd post cuddly stories, and fun stories. The dogs were extremely well taken care of. It is obvious he cares about his charges -- whether cats or dogs... or I'm assuming anything else. He's personable, funny, intelligent and you can pretty much trust him with your most valued possessions. When my finicky eater was worried about her, he asked if he could cook her some chicken so she'd eat. Even thought I wasn't worried about her -- he was. So he cooked her some yummy chicken, which she of course loved. I'm booking him a year in advance while I can still get on his calendar. Add to that, the fact that he left the house in immaculate shape. Oh did I mention -- while we were gone, it snowed 20 inches, and he shoveled the snow off our 23 three outside stairs in the front, the back stairs, and part of the back deck. WAY outside the call of duty.

Mark was great with our dog and communicated well with us before and throughout our trip. He let us know when our dog was approached by an aggressive dog and kept us updated about our dog's anxiety after the event so we could give advice on how to care for him. Mark also did a good job cleaning up before he left. We hope to have Mark sit for us again in the future.

Amelia was terrific! She came over early to meet the dogs and was very accommodating with our travel schedule which was delayed due to the big internet issues. The dogs were happy when we got home and we were grateful Amelia was with them.

Sara and Christophe took awesome care of Ricky. He was outdoors a lot with them and their sweet dog, Lily. And he was tired at night -- which we love. We got photos of good times; they asked all the right questions; and they left us a really good summary of things at the end. Our house was perfectly clean when we returned. We were so happy to have them here, and hope they'll be back!

We got to meet Ben in person before heading out and he was lovely to interact with. Upon returning home, our house was clean, tidy and put together - he even washed our sheets which was most appreciated. Our cats were chill and while delighted to see us, clearly had been very well cared for. My only feedback for Ben is perhaps being more pro-active on checking in with the pet parents on their pets and before vacating the home. Ben was great with communicating once I reached out first and I had requested every other day picture of the cats/health & wellness report as they are sensitive ladies and sometimes get weird when their people leave. This is minor overall as Ben was clear about his needs for his stay and did a wonderful job in our home and with our cats. Thank you Ben, we'd love to have you back!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Melanie as our pet and house sitter, and our experience was mostly positive. Melanie proved to be very reliable from the outset, ensuring we had a video chat before her arrival to familiarize with our home and pets. Melanie and her partner were a delightful couple, leaving our home neat and tidy upon departure. The regular updates with pictures of our dog were a thoughtful touch that we greatly appreciated. However, there were a few areas where our instructions were not fully adhered to. Despite our clear guidance to take our dog for two walks daily, this routine was not consistently followed. Additionally, their time away from the house exceeded the three-hour maximum we had specified. Another point of concern was the mix-up with the pet food; dog food was inadvertently placed in the cat food container. While we understand mistakes can happen, a more upfront communication about this mix-up would have been preferred. Despite these issues, it was evident that Melanie treated our home with respect and care. We believe that with clearer communication, Melanie would be a good pet sitter for future assignments.

Laura was everything we asked for and could have wanted for Molly. After meeting Laura it was immediately obvious that she has a special love for animals . She brought with her Pipkin, a rescue from the streets of Mexico, and they both got on just great, as Laura had said would happen. I think that Molly felt like she was on a vacation too! Our house was spotless and everything looked great when we arrived home. We never had trouble communicating, and received lots of pictures at our request. She listened to our concerns about Molly’s special needs (don’t disturb when sleeping, etc) and made sure that Molly was always happy and fed . We would not hesitate to ask her to come back in the future. Thank you Laura for being a great pet sitter for our Molly!!

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her!

Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload.

But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too.

Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control.

Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures.

If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year!

From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator.  While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text.  It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have.  

Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house.  Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease.  Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start).  

While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW).  Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible.

Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve!  

When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was!  Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly.  Seriously, our house felt like we never left it.  Everything was spotless, shinny and clean.  She didn’t miss a beat!!  Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!).  Haha.  

If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough.  Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise.  She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated!
Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. 
Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!

Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again.  My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone.  When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels.  I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! 

This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. 

The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! 

Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy.  

When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. 

Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.

Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used.  My husky LOVES her.  Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly.  She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia.  She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. 
Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
